| Brandon | GOTW: Windows XI'm running out of ideas for what GUIs to post, so if you have one you want to see, please let me know.
Anyway, I did manage to dig a GUI up this week. This particular GUI is pretty important to me because back in 2005 when I started testing every GUI I could get my hands on, I couldn't get most of them to run. I didn't know about the /L command for QBASIC. Therefore, any GUI that had a mouse routine that wasn't precompiled didn't run. Windows X however is a great example of what you can do with basic knowledge of QBASIC commands and graphics primitives. I compiled Windows X so that you can run it in DOSBox easier: Windows X

| RetroM | Re: GOTW: Windows XI remember this well. It was the first QB GUI I ever downloaded, back then I thought I was the only person mad enough to make a QB GUI :-p | 2013-09-30 | 12:34 PM |
| Dick | Re: GOTW: Windows XThis GUI was hosted on the very old original qbasic.com. It was the first QB GUI I've ever tried, probably a few years before I discovered jacobpalm.dk and all that stuff. | 2013-09-30 | 8:10 PM |
| TheWalrus | Re: GOTW: Windows XSeems like everyones first encounter with QB GUIs was Windows X - it was the first GUI i downloaded and tried out, and it inspired me to make my first TUI, which I called JEM.
My guess is that this was somewhere around 2001-2002, a couple of years before Costa saw the light of day :) | 2013-10-01 | 3:57 AM |
| Brandon | Re: GOTW: Windows XI'm surprised at how much impact Windows X has had. In terms of technical merit, it's not the best GUI ever made, however it's simplicity seems to attract new programmers. | 2013-10-02 | 8:30 PM |
